Tool Gloat

As many of you know, I’m partial to a Hand Brace or 10. For the last 18 months or so, I’ve bid on countless old wooden braces just because I think they look so damn cool. They’ve always gone too high in price for my wallet, but tonight I just won this one for £32.01. It was a bit of risk because the seller only posted this one grainy picture (mobile phone no doubt), so time will tell the condition it is really in.

congrat´s with the score Andy …... yipeeee ! one less I have to compeed with and you are right they have been sold for very high prices the last ½ year min. I have only seen one that did go for less and he was damm lucky how he was able to do it I still wonder since he got it for the startbidding of 4,99 £ no one ells bid on it … I don´t have to tell you I still kick myself very hard once a week :-(

The brace arrived and it was crap. Three splits, the ebony head was chipped and the whole thing was warped making it totally unusable. I contacted the seller detailing the issues and he’s given me a full refund plus the cost of the return postage.
